Camera+ 5.0.1 is out with more fixies than a hipster gathering

We would’ve gotten Camera+ 5.0.1 out a lot sooner but for some crazy reason, Apple has an annual holiday shutdown of iTunes Connect, which makes it impossible to submit updates during the Xmas holiday period. If any of you actually know what this crazy reason is (or have some even crazier theories or speculation about it), I’d love to hear it in the comments.

Anyway, here’s what this one’s all about…

This update is one of those stability releases that we all know and love. We’ve put the kibosh on a bunch of bugs and improved several little things that’ll make the whole Camera+ experience a bit better, especially with the shiny, new Lab that we added in Camera+ 5.

The app would sometimes crash when you tried to save photos edited in The Lab. That should be all fixed now.

Clarity Pro was getting a little too ambitious on occasion and he’d boost himself a tad more than the actually intensity level you set. We had a good talking to with him, and we now have an understanding and he promised it won’t happen again.

And speaking of Clarity Pro (and anthropomorphic app features), it seems like he and his older brother Clarity weren’t playing nice with each other. The way things were supposed to work was that if you had The Clarity scene set and then went to Clarity Pro in The Lab, it’d automatically be set to 100% intensity there (instead of 0%). That’s fixed now and we hope it doesn’t cause any confusion for those of you who’ve gotten used to it working the other way.

We killed a horrible, little bug where the app was crashing on launch for some people. There’s not much worse than being locked-out of your photos and we apologize for the inconvenience. The programmer responsible was forced to say 100 rosaries… and he’s an atheist, which made it all the more painful for him.

The Camera+ API has been fixed and is working smoothly again. This should fix any issues you were having with apps like Day One. Because we care.

Issue #605 has been resolved. We’d tell you more, but then we’d have to kill you.

We’ve been creating top-notch apps since the App Store first opened. Our apps are used by literally tens of millions of people in all corners of the world. A few of our favorite and most popular apps we’ve created are:

Apple always try to give the appearance of curation of the App Store, and I suspect a lot less of it is automated than it could be (or than the Play store is).

As so much of the company is off work over Christmas, and as Apple want a heavily curated front page for all those shiny new iOS devices on Christmas day, I can see why they don’t want developers making changes to the system over the holiday period.

Hi guys. First off, thank you for one of the best apps I’ve ever used. You’ve enabled me to publish some of the best pictures of my life.

There is still an issue with the clarity pro function on my phone (5s). Once I’ve made the adjustments and I hit ✔️, it seems that the intensity setting goes all the way to 100% automatically. I would gladly help you sort it out so if you need more info please email me. Cheers!
